Statement of Purpose
Wright State University College of Education and Human Services recognizes the challenges faced
by both rural and urban communities. Poverty and its resulting effects create needs beyond the available resources of the area. School districts are faced with the overwhelming task of addressing these community issues as they
educate the children.
|
The Goal
The goal of Initiatives in Rural and Urban Education is to establish partnership centers for education in urban and
rural school districts focusing on the needs of PK-12 grade students as determined by the site principal while creating a field experience laboratory for Wright State University teacher candidates in the schools and the
community.
